"I present to you a biography of Zbigniew Seifert (7th June 1946, Cracow - 14th February 1979, Buffalo, USA), one of Poland's greatest jazz artists: a violinist, composer and sax player. He gained worldwide fame thanks to his unique violin technique, which paved him the way to a splendid international career. Unfortunately his untimely death at the age of nearly 33 put an end to his musical projects and to further development. Though his life was short, Zbigniew Seifert has earned a permanent place among the greatest jazzmen of all time with his uncompromising attitude to the creative process and his unceasing search for his own artistic path."
